WTB: High-End rims for C5 Corvette
Figured I'd check here before going to the states to find a set. I am looking for a set of high-end rims for my C5 Z06, preferably with tires. Looking for sets such as CCW, HRE, Fikse, etc.
I have cash in hand to buy outright, but would also trade a set of mint 2002 Z06 rims with good Michelin PS2 tires with cash.

I have these same wheels on my Corvette, a nice deal here:

You'll have to check the offsets though, not sure if they will work on the Corvette.

If I were wanting to spend on high end wheels not sure id go any smaller than 19/20. Anything less just doesnt look right with balloon tires. Why spend the money for not much of a look is how I see it.

On stock body they just look way too big. Wide body can do it but even then I wouldn't go bigger than 19". This was my old setup:
I think for those rims that sizing was pretty ideal.
Still looking for another set of wheels. I'm getting tempted to just order something new lol.

Doesn't look bad. Have to remember gm put a bigger rim on the back because the car looked awful in design with the same size wheels front and back. Because of the size of the back end the rear wheel was made larger to help the car look proportional to the eye. In my eyes that photo just makes the car look unbalanced and the back end a little too big.

how are these..http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/pts/4701295334.html
We'll see, if I end up going that route it will be closer to spring when I pull the trigger. For now I'm going to try and save myself some money.
